Google+ Science Bulletin Board
Science on Google+: A Public Database is getting ready to launch a Science Bulletin Board so everyone can post announcements to the science community. Before officially launching the Science Bulletin Board, we are looking for 10 – 20 people to post and view announcements on the board. Announcements may include: (1) asking a science question, (2) recruiting people for a specialized science circle, (3) letting people know about your specialized science circle, (4) looking to start a new collaboration, (5) posting dates/times of scientific conferences, (6) posting single or reoccurring science events, (7) science hangouts, (8) job ads, etc. Please comment below if you have an announcement that you would like to post to the science community.

Does anyone know if there is a solid teaching science circle? I’m specifically interested in #highered and chemistry, but i need starting points. 🙂

Nic Hammond – there’s a chemistry circle in the database (link is on the about page). Not sure about a #highered circle. Post it to the science board. Someone may know about one.

We plan to share the board with a small group of individuals when we have 10 -20 people who are interested in contributing. We will hopefully give everyone access to it on Sunday.

Wait…i filled in the google form, and am not on the chem circle, did i miss something?

Nic Hammond – we don’t update the circles every time we get a new entry. You will be in two circles- chemistry circle and natural science circle. Scott Lewis is curating those circles, and we will update those circles soon (maybe next week). You will receive a notification when we share the chemistry circle but the natural science circle is too large to send notifications.

I am a researcher at University Rey Juan Carlos (Madrid). My ground is Statistics and Operations Research. I am an enthusiast of the R Statistical Software. I would like to annouce the next Use R! Conference: http://www.r-project.org/useR-2013/, and I could update info about it as I am with the local organizing committee.

That sounds great, Emilio. Any interest in building an R circle?

It would be great

Emilio L. Cano – you should have access to the Science Board. Feel free to post your conference on the board. Bradley Okdie and Niles Johnson would probably be interested in following (or contributing to) an R circle if you decide to put one together.

You are right Chris Robinson. I would certainly be interested in a R circle. I also have a colleague that I am sure would be interested as well.

Great initiative: I would like to made 2 posts:
1) Please follow Cellular Computing on G+ https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/106140549977596536572/106140549977596536572/posts
“The use of synthetic biological systems in research, healthcare, and manufacturing often requires autonomous history-dependent behavior and therefore some form of engineered biological memory. For example, the study or reprogramming of aging, cancer, or development would benefit from genetically encoded counters capable of recording up to several hundred cell division or differentiation events. Although genetic material itself provides a natural data storage medium, tools that allow researchers to reliably and reversibly write information to DNA in vivo are lacking.” Jerome Bonnet, Pakpoom Subsoontorn, and Drew Endy, Rewritable digital data storage in live cells via engineered control of recombination directionality http://bit.ly/K5n33R
Looking forward to discuss with you this topic on G+.
2) Have a look at Leukippos – a synthetic biology lab in the cloud. http://www.leukippos.org More information about this project can be found in my recent Nature blog http://blogs.nature.com/soapboxscience/2012/05/01/tool-tales-leukippos-synthetic-biology-lab-in-the-cloud
I you are interested to collaborate on this project, please let me know.
